ELECTRONIC PERCUSSION INSTRUMENT AND RECORDING MEDIUM WITH PROGRAM RECORDED THEREIN
First Claim
1. An electronic percussion instrument comprising:
- a detecting section which is provided in a stick and detects acceleration and angular speed based on movement of the stick;
a first timing generating section which generates beat timing based on a predetermined tempo and beat width;
a first pre-sound-production movement detecting section which detects a pre-sound-production movement that is performed prior to sound production, based on the acceleration and the angular speed detected by the detecting section; and
a sound production instructing section which instructs to produce a sound at the beat timing generated by the first timing generating section, when the first pre-sound-production movement detecting section detects the pre-sound-production movement.

Abstract
An electronic percussion instrument including: a detecting section which is provided in a stick and detects acceleration and angular speed based on movement of the stick; a first timing generating section which generates beat timing based on a predetermined tempo and beat width; a first pre-sound-production movement detecting section which detects a pre-sound-production movement that is performed prior to sound production, based on the acceleration and the angular speed detected by the detecting section; and a sound production instructing section which instructs to produce a sound at the beat timing generated by the first timing generating section, when the first pre-sound-production movement detecting section detects the pre-sound-production movement.

5. An electronic percussion instrument comprising:
-
a stick and a main body section; wherein the stick includes; a detecting section which detects acceleration and angular speed based on movement of the stick; a second timing generating section which generates beat timing based on a predetermined tempo and beat width; a second pre-sound-production movement detecting section which detects a pre-sound-production movement that is performed prior to sound production, based on the acceleration and the angular speed detected by the detecting section; a second judging section which judges whether or not the second pre-sound-production movement detecting section has detected the pre-sound-production movement between predetermined amount of time before a preceding beat timing and a predetermined amount of time before a current beat timing; and a transmitting section which transmits a pre-sound-production movement detection signal, when the second judging section judges that the pre-sound-production movement has been detected; and the main body section includes; a receiving section which receives the pre-sound-production movement detection signal transmitted from the stick; a third timing generating section which generates beat timing based on a predetermined tempo and beat width; and a sound production instructing section which instructs to produce a sound at the beat timing generated by the third timing generating section, when the receiving section receives the pre-sound-production movement detection signal. - View Dependent Claims (6)

7. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon a program that is executable by a computer, the program being executable by the computer to perform functions comprising:
-
detection processing for detecting acceleration and angular speed based on movement of a stick; first timing generation processing for generating beat timing based on a predetermined tempo and beat width; first pre-sound-production movement detection processing for detecting a pre-sound-production movement that is performed prior to sound production, based on the acceleration and the angular speed detected in the detection processing; and sound production instruction processing for instructing to produce a sound at the beat timing generated in the first timing generation processing, when the pre-sound-production movement is detected in the first pre-sound-production movement detection processing.

8. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon a program that is executable by a computer in a stick and a computer in a main body section, the program being executable by the computer in the stick to perform functions comprising:
-
detection processing for detecting acceleration and angular speed based on movement of the stick; second timing generation processing for generating beat timing based on a predetermined tempo and beat width; second pre-sound-production movement detection processing for detecting a pre-sound-production movement that is performed prior to sound production, based on the acceleration and the angular speed detected in the detection processing; second judgment processing for judging whether or not the pre-sound-production movement has been detected in the second pre-sound-production movement detection processing between a predetermined amount of time before a preceding beat timing and a predetermined amount of time before a current beat timing; and transmission processing for transmitting a pre-sound-production movement detection signal, when the pre-sound-production movement is judged to have been detected in the second judgment processing; and the program being executable by the computer in the main body section to perform functions comprising; reception processing for receiving the pre-sound-production movement detection signal transmitted in the transmission processing; third timing generation processing for generating beat timing based on a predetermined tempo and beat width; and sound production instruction processing for instructing to produce a sound at the beat timing generated in the third timing generation processing, when the pre-sound-production movement detection signal is received in the reception processing.
